Hi, I also looked at the entry on Ipython1 and it looks really promising. Did I understand correctly that Ipython1 is able to run parallel python code, regardless of which "MPI for python" package one eventually uses? Giovanni Flavio Coelho wrote:
Thank you for this post and many thanks to Fernando Perez, for the awesome tool that Ipython1 is becomming!!! I am beginning to use it today!!

I think mpi4py is the best option. It is a very nice implementation and the developer is working really hard to make it a great package. Also, I don't think pympi and pypar are being developed actively anymore.
Another thing you might check out is IPython's parallel computing facilities that let you use mpi4py (and other mpi bindings) interactively:
http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/Parallel_Computing
I have never used BPS, but am familiar with the model. Can probably get it working interactively with IPython as well.
Cheers,
